Mike Young (35)

Who could have imagined at the start that 2020 would be the year it was? The global COVID-19 pandemic, record wildfires throughout the state and social unrest across our country were among the events that marked a historic and often troubling time. We have all been affected personally in a variety of ways. To those friends and associates of the California Agricultural Leadership Foundation (CALF) who have suffered loss, we are truly sorry.

Along with the many challenges we’ve come to expect on our ranches, farms and businesses, the events of 2020 also affected California agriculture and CALF. Our programs and other opportunities for engagement, especially with alumni, were interrupted or delayed due to statewide stay-at-home orders. Even our much anticipated 50th Anniversary Celebration was postponed.

Virtual opportunities for learning and connecting have become the new norm. We have embraced our First Fridays webinars as a way to present valuable lifelong learning topics to alumni. These webinars focus on discussion of complex subject matter that link back to current class curriculum and are an important component of the education that the foundation is proud to produce and provide.

Through it all, our CALF stakeholders remained resilient, committed and connected, which is what we have titled this year’s annual report. The theme is timely and reflects that despite all that’s happened in the world around us, we can still highlight many positive developments at CALF.

The perception of and interest in the always-evolving flagship Ag Leadership Program remains high and the financial strength and stability of the foundation continues to increase. Alumni engagement continues to rise, volunteer support remains impressive and the devotion of core faculty through our partnerships with four outstanding universities and their college of agriculture deans (who also managed through significant challenges) is still strong.

Regarding the foundation’s financial position, we are pleased to report our overall net asset value has once again increased thanks to the generosity of our donors and the continuation of positive equity markets. At the start of the fiscal year, net assets totaled just under $19.9 million and grew to almost $21.1 million for the year ending June 30, 2020; an increase of more than 6%. Endowment balances started the year at $19.4 million and increased to more than $19.9 million, a gain in excess of 2.5%. During this same time, total expenses as a percent of revenues and gains decreased, enabling an increase in net assets.

We are proud to share that the Salinas-based accounting firm of Bianchi, Kasavan & Pope LLP has once again issued a clean opinion on our financials, which we encourage you to review in this report.

We thank all of you in the Ag Leadership family, the board of directors, alumni, faculty, donors and staff for your continued support. We also thank and recognize our immediate past chair, Jeff Elder (35) (who remains on our board), and recently retired CALF President Barry Bedwell (13), for their outstanding leadership, guidance and support in recent years. They established great momentum on multiple fronts in their respective roles.

The potential for this foundation and its programs remains unlimited and we are focused and committed to our mission to “grow leaders who make a difference” and vision “to be a catalyst for a vibrant agricultural community.” Thank you for giving all of us at the California Ag Leadership Foundation that opportunity.

The fellows of Class 49 traveled to Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania for their international seminar. They spent two weeks experiencing and learning about cultures other than their own through history, food, music, language and customs. They also observed the effects of various forms of government and leadership while exploring how societies create a new reality during times of changing social structure.

The fellows visited the Kremlin, Red Square and St. Basil’s Cathedral. They also witnessed the changing of the guard at the Eternal Flame. The first full day abroad was ended at dinner with a representative from The Agricultural Cooperatives of Russia, who conveyed a message to fellows about the importance of inter-reliance and relationship building.

“Overall, the first 24 hours have been insightful and mind-blowing. Many new perspectives are in process of forming and it’s exciting to see this country and culture in a new light.”- John Dmytriw, Cherie France, Daniel Hartwig

After the Russian portion of the seminar, the fellows began the next leg of their journey in the Baltic states.

At the U.S. Embassy in Estonia, fellows met with representatives who spoke about the successes and challenges faced by Estonia since leaving the Soviet Union, the country’s democratic election systems and internet focused societies. During their first full day in Estonia, fellows of Class 49 visited the Estonian State Forest Management Centre, the Estonia Rural Network Unit and Agriculture Research Centre in Jäneda.

The Estonian portion of the seminar concluded with a meeting at the e-Estonia Briefing Centre. With nearly all of its government services available through the internet and records digitized and interconnected, Estonia is the most advanced digital society in the world. Citizens can log into a single online portal to file taxes, apply for a hunting license and access medical records.

“We all agreed that our experience thus far in Ag Leadership and on our international trip has prompted us to question ourselves and our world. Do we ask ‘what if it doesn’t work?’ when we should be asking ‘what if it does work?’ The Estonians believe it is ingrained in their culture to take risks and ask ‘what if it works?’ Perhaps our own forefathers were more inclined

to think this way than our current society.” - Adam Borchard, Kate Elmore and Alyssa Houtby

In Latvia, fellows met with the Farmers’ Parliament, the Association of Rural Women of Latvia and the mayor of Bauska. They also visited a bakery, where they learned about local baking traditions and enjoyed a Lithuanian feast and traditional dancing.

In Lithuania, the fellows visited the largest fresh cabbage and carrot farm in the country. There they learned about the history of the farm and generational challenges associated with agriculture. They also visited Vytautas Magnus University, which has an agriculture academy that focuses on farming innovation and offers valuable degrees for students studying agriculture. The chancellor of the university spoke to the group about the value of the university’s agriculture degrees and programs.

“Despite all of our differences, it was amazing to hear about all of the similar challenges Lithuanian agriculture faces.” - Luis Calderon, Brittany Fagundes and Betty Lindeman

The final day of the seminar began with a meeting at Auga Group, the largest vertically integrated food company in Europe. Later, the fellows went to the Lithuanian Ministry of Agriculture, where they learned about Lithuanian’s perspective towards a sustainable food sector. They learned that both these entities consider California as a trend-driver and they actively watch not only what the U.S. does, but specifically California.

“Traveling through Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania was a once in a lifetime trip to experience the culture of the host countries. Thank you CALF for arranging such a great trip, we will never forget it!”- Class 49 Fellows

Lessons Learned in Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania // November 3-19, 2019

In early March, the fellows of Class 50 began their national seminar experience in Sacramento, followed by Atlanta and Washington, D.C. The seminar provided a valuable extension to the study of state and national issues during the first year of the program.

At the Centers for Disease Control, fellows met with scientists for Healthy Food Environments. There they learned about developing nutritional access by working with schools to buy locally and seasonally sourced food to reduce costs and improve healthy eating. They also participated in a discussion around foodborne diseases and outbreaks.

“During an outbreak, (or crisis, or other stressful time) people look to credible sources and people often remember the first thing they hear during an emergency; even if it is wrong. We challenge everyone to work towards being a source of credible information so that people trust and look to you when a question arises. We can do this in our home and work lives, with friends and on social media. This trust and relationship has to be developed and tended to, and we can do that by being the source of actionable information.” - Kris Costa, Ted Kingsley and Mike Newton

During their first business day in D.C., fellows learned about agricultural advocacy, current legislative issues and the importance of good leadership. The day began with meetings at the United Fresh Produce Association and the Russell Group. The seminar continued with a panel discussion that included four D.C. Exchange alumni.

A second panel discussion was made up of alumni of the White House Fellows program.

“Forming relationships within the industry is a key component to success both in Sacramento and Washington D.C. We are excited for our next few days and embracing more of the D.C. culture as we learn more about the work of the various agencies within our government.”- Tyler Blackney, Natasha Crivelli and Julian Lopez

At the Office of the United States Trade Representative, fellows met with the assistant trade representative, who shared her experience on complex trade negotiations and the cultural dynamics that go along with working with international trade partners. Fellows also met with the deputy director of the Office of Agricultural Policy, where they learned about the importance of building alliances and strategies for maintaining partnerships. At the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the associate director of the Office of Public Liaison to the White House talked about serving as a communication conduit between the White House and the U.S. agriculture industry. During a meeting at the USDA, fellows learned about the interactions between the USDA and Congress and how policy decisions are influenced.

“As our national trip has come to a close, we reflect on the immense opportunity we have as members of CALP. The program’s legacy led us to meetings, tours, exposure to social issues and access to our state and federal governments that reached

far beyond our expectations. There is so much on our minds as we return home to our families and work while processing the experiences we’ve had on this journey. Our travels took us outside of our comfort zones while expanding our minds to the opportunities we have to affect the future of our industry. We were reminded often that joining the conversation is just as crucial as listening, especially while engaging groups with different views. Additionally, the importance of developing and maintaining trusting relationships was demonstrated over and over again.”-Class 50

MISSION

We grow leaders who make a difference.

12

2019

-202

0Barry Bedwell (13)—In reflecting back on these seemingly crazy and even bizarre times, I believe we should all feel fortunate to not only be involved with this exceptional leadership program, but to also have leaders in place at the board level to make the very difficult decisions that had to be made for the protection of the fellows, faculty and staff. We can truly see the positive impact of these “leaders who make a difference.”

Louise Ferguson, Ph.D. (30), Core Faculty, UC Davis—Why does Ag Leadership incorporate travel into every seminar? The short answer to “why” is that we think it will make better leaders. But, “how” do we think travel will make better leaders? The curriculum is designed to first, assist us in understanding our personality, attitudes, reactions and skills. Second, through testing tools, personal reflection and interaction with others, to learn how we are perceived, to determine how effective our suite of skills, knowledge and attitudes actually is. Third, the program is designed to help us improve ourselves, through the acceptance of what we have learned and practice of improving our suite of skills, knowledge and attitudes.

Jeff Elder (35)—Our thoughts and best wishes go out to all who have suffered personal or financial hardship due to the pandemic. As terrible as this crisis has been, it does highlight the importance of California agriculture to the country and world and the importance of good leadership.

Rob Geis (35)—I realized there was a whole other experience

that came with being part of the program—alumni. Class 35 was great—amazing—but when I met the rest of the alumni, it was like being part of a whole other class. I made new friendships, met new people and learned even more from those people. Every day, every week, every month, I use the connections I made through Ag Leadership.

Jim Stollberg (35)—For myself and the people who were involved with the [Dean Brown] golf tournament prior to me, it was just ingrained that the program is important for future ag leaders and when you graduate from the program, you do what you can to allow the program to continue. That means doing whatever we can to support the program, raise money and be part of something big for our region.

Greg Wegis (39)—Ag Leadership is important because we don’t have many avenues of developing leaders in agriculture. Many of us work on our day-to-day operations and don’t have the time to devote to leadership training. But when there’s a program like the California Ag Leadership Program, with such a good reputation, it attracts talent and leaders who develop their skills even further to better the industry as a whole.

Cameron Boswell (42)—It takes hard work, risk and sacrifice to produce the things we depend on for our survival as well as our leisure. Our continued success as an industry and as a civilized people depends on our ability to prioritize our enduring values and guard against an entitlement

attitude. Leadership that “makes a difference” requires us to stand up for the core values we believe in.

Jason Cole (42)—Getting involved in Ag Leadership is so rewarding and really a great time. Any foundation is only as strong as its members and I think our foundation is stronger than ever, so get out there and get involved.

Abby Taylor-Silva (45)—We are all learning how to manage our emotions and fears in this unprecedented time. Ag Leadership teaches us to meet people where they are and how important it is to appreciate the ways different people process information, situations and opportunities.

Casey Creamer (47)—Understanding myself and others’ Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is the single best tool that I use daily. We all react differently and it has never been more important to be able to quickly understand and communicate effectively, both internally and externally.

Ian LeMay (48)—There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t stop and think about what I learned during the Ag Leadership Program. From making sure that I’m communicating effectively with my team, prioritizing which emergencies need the most attention, to making sure that I’m focusing enough time on helping my family process through this odd time. All of these items are elements that I learned to deal with during the program. I’ve relied on the relationships that I’ve formed through the program to outreach to others to share ideas, collaborate

on advocacy efforts or just share common frustrations with elements of life that we are all dealing with.

Brean Bettencourt (49)—These are the skills of a lifetime. As we think of the road ahead, we look back at where we’ve been. Over the course of the program, we learned together and challenged each other to grow. We celebrated the birth of three babies and one marriage—in other words, we became a family.

Adam Borchard (49), Laura Pires (49) and Taylor Serres (49)—Traveling through Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania was a once in a lifetime trip to experience the culture of the host countries. Thank you CALF for arranging such a great trip. We will never forget it!

Luis Calderon (49)—I knew I would be challenged, but I didn’t realize how much. Being vulnerable was key. As the program progressed, I would share more things and the more I could share, the more I could understand myself. Being vulnerable has helped me see that we all need to understand each other for the benefit of California agriculture.

Steven Filter (49)—I know I’m meant to be a part of this group—I know I’m meant to be a leader. I became aware of my skills, my strengths and my weaknesses. This program has taught me how my emotions affect me so I can go out into the world and make a difference.

Cherie France (49)—[The program] afforded us the time to improve ourselves. We are extremely fortunate to have this

group and to have a bond. We are stronger and ready to take everything on as a group.

Laura Pires (49)—Each seminar was filled with valuable lessons inspired by listening to speakers who challenged us. We gained insights into our own personalities and reflected on the leaders we want to aspire to become. I was truly moved by the vulnerability and openness of my classmates.

Jared Plumlee (49)—I improved myself, my home life, personal life and work life [through the program] and learned how to tell my personal story.

Jessica Pugliese (D.C. Exchange Alumn)—I’ll probably be processing all of the information that I learned from the D.C. Exchange for the next decade. The program has helped me to begin to understand the competitive advantage of California farmers, as well as their constraints and challenges. It was an invaluable opportunity to learn and meet a wonderful group of people within California agriculture and the federal government.

Charles Stephens (D.C. Exchange Alumn)—The D.C. Exchange introduced me to the unique challenges and opportunities in California agriculture. I saw firsthand how the policies we develop, grants we approve and programs we support impact the lives of so many hard working farmers, ranchers and all those who support California agriculture up and down the supply chain. I am confident my experience with the D.C. Exchange will position me to better serve California in the months and years to come.

Seminars are delivered by four exceptional partner universities – Cal Poly Pomona; Cal Poly San Luis Obispo; Fresno State and UC Davis. Fellows learn from first-rate educators, subject authorities and individuals from

diverse professions and backgrounds. Core faculty members at each university are responsible for the content and delivery of the seminar

curriculum. Through these dynamic and intensive seminars, fellows focus on leadership theory, critical and strategic thinking, effective communication,

motivation, change management, complex social and cultural issues, emotional intelligence and other skills that contribute to improved

performance as a leader.
